Shen Qi realized something was wrong. Opening a data pack did not consume a [Script Detector].
He currently had four [Script Detectors] left.
When he first arrived in the Mega Evolution World Line, Shen Qi had five [Script Detectors] after ten targeted draws. Wingull's "The Journey Home" script had consumed one.

But there was no [Script Detector] with its little antenna spinning in the Game Interface. The [Script Detector] he had activated when he went into space had been switched off.
Shen Qi had never switched it off himself, so why had they become four quiet ones?
"Is Florges that special? Chansey's and Lilligant's data packs didn't consume anything extra."
After going over it repeatedly, Shen Qi discovered that he had misunderstood.
The [Script Detector] had been consumed not because of the data pack, but because there was another script in the strategy interface:
[Emotional Script: "Not a Clue"] [Script difficulty: hard] [Progress: 63%]
The sight left Shen Qi utterly dumbfounded.
"Do I have amnesia? When did I accept this script? When did I make any progress?"
This was a "hard" script. Shen Qi knew very well how much effort reaching 63% progress would take. How could he have no recollection at all?
The mystery of the [Script Detector] was solved.

Reaching 10% progress had triggered the first-stage reward, giving him a new [Script Detector]. That was why he now saw four inactive ones.
Then there was an additional [Memory Image], awarded at 50% progress, and even a script-exclusive item!
He had found the answer to the simple
